Day 4!

Hello!
  I am LOVING this diet right now! Sorry I forgot to post yesterday at the end of the day! But yesterday I weighed myself and I weighed 182!! Yay!! Today I am at 180!! So excited!

So last night i had fresh green beans and watermelon for dinner!

So...

Day 4: Weight 180 lbs.
     Day Four Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be eaten in limited quantities.

    Two days ago I froze some bananas to get ready for today! In another version of this recipe it says yogurt and bananas and I wanted smoothies so I went ahead and added some yogurt to my day! So here's the smoothie I've been drinking:

Delicious Banana Smoothie
  • 1 frozen banana (I peeled and cut these before I froze them MUCH easier!)
  • About a cup of yogurt 
  • About 1.5-2 cups almond milk
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • Blend it all up and enjoy!
The first time i made my smoothie this morning I didn't use cinnamon it was a nice addition the second time around! This is all I've been having today, it's so hot out and with the frozen bananas this is a delicious cool treat, I feel like I'm drinking a milkshake!!

Getting Food Ready!

So tonight I tried to make a variation of "The Miracle Soup" in the 7 Day Detox. Since it's all veggies I figured since tomorrow is fruit and veggie day (Day 3) I would make some soup! I also froze some bananas so I can make some smoothies on milk and banana day, plus my bananas were getting a little old!


Here's the 7 Day Detox G.M.’S Wonder Soup Recipe
28 oz, Water, 6 Large Onions, 2 Green Peppers, Whole Tomatoes (fresh or canned), 1 Head Cabbage, 1 Bunch Celery, 4 Envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix, Herbs and Flavouring as desired.

Here's what I made:
  • 1/2 head of cabbage (I couldn't fit more in my crockpot or I would have)
  • 2 ears of corn cut off the cob
  • 1 can creamed corn
  • 1 container of vegetable stock 
  • 2 whole tomatoes
  • 2 1/2 onions
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 package onion soup mix
I would have put more onions and cabbage in but my crock pot was already about to over flow.

Day 2- Veggie Day!

Hello!
  So today is Day 2 of my 7 Day Detox and it's veggie day! Last night before bed I made some fresh green beans and potatoes in my crock pot. I started off and ate my two delicious potatoes and then ate some green beans (I have plenty left for later!). I am glad they turned out if you look at last night's post you can see the recipe I used/made up for my green beans! The onion soup packets taste good I did alter the recipe a little to this:

Green Beans and Potatoes
  • 2 lbs Fresh Green beans ends snapped off and snapped in half
  • 2 packets Lipton Onion soup mix (feel free to mix it up and try new soups!)
  • 1/2 a large onion
  • water
  • sea salt
  1. After snapping the green beans I put the potatoes, green beans, and loosely diced onions into the crock pot. I barely covered the mixture with water and added the soup packets. I cooked on high for about 45 min then let sit on low over night, I may have slept in too late because they were a bit over done, but still delicious!

Getting ready

Getting ready for day 2! I have fresh green beans and two potatoes in the crock pot! My two potatoes for breakfast with some beans! Then beans for the day! I think I'll make some "miracle soup" tomorrow too I think since it's all veggies you can eat it every day! Yay! I think I'm going to add carrots to the soup! Yummy! Here's how I made my green beans (I'll tell you tomorrow if they taste good:

  • 2 lbs. green beans (snapped the ends and snapped in half)
  • 1/2 a large onion
  • Onion soup package
  • Two potatoes
  • Some salt
I threw it all into the crock pot on high I'm going to turn it down to low right before bed! Hoping it tastes good, or at least edible!

Day 1: 7 Day Detox

Today I started my 7 Day Detox and have eaten nothing but melon! When I started I weighed 185 lbs. Can't wait to see what I weigh next Saturday and see how I feel!


Reminder of what day 1 is:
Day One All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.

Watermelon

So far this morning I have had about two cups of water melon. I feel full, but there is a rumbling starting in my tummy that is making me a little nervous. I knew fruit day would have its downsides, I mean c'mon think about what would happen to your body if you stopped smashing burgers and noming on fajitas every night and spent a solid day eating only fruit. Yuck! Well it's part of the "detox"... s*** has to get out somehow I guess. (sorry I couldn't resist the pun!). Wish me luck the rest of today could be tough. But hopefully totally worth it! They say you can drop 3 lbs. the first day if you only eat melon! We will see (I really should have weighed myself this morning)! Two days ago I was 185, I will weigh myself as soon as I get home from work! And take a "Before" picture, things I should have done last night (so good at procrastinating!)

Pumped to get started!

So I have my watermelon cut and apples ready to start my all fruit day 1 of my detox tomorrow! Getting pumped up! Hopefully this will be the boost I need!

7 Day Jump Start Detox

I found this on Pintrest, it is from another blog: Nothing is Impossible.

I will be starting this 7 Day Detox tomorrow! Hoping for some good results! I think it will be a good way to jump start my diet and get some energy! One nice thing is, since it's a holiday week I'm going to be very honest, I want to have a few DRINKS! This allows you 2 drinks a day (I may stretch it on Wednesday, it's the 4th! What can I say?) But I'm excited! Wish me luck!


This plan can be used as often as you like without any fear of complications. It is designed to flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being. After seven days you will begin to feel lighter because you will be lighter by at least 10 lbs. You will have an abundance of energy and an improved disposition.

During the first seven days you must abstain from all alcohol
You must drink 10 glasses of water each day

Day One All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day. Especially watermelon and a loupe. If you limit your fruit consumption to melons, your chances of losing three lbs. on first day are very good.

Day Two All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day two with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.

Day Three A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas yet. No potatoes today.

Day Four Bananas and milk. Today you will eat as many as eight bananas and drink three glasses of milk. This will be combined with the special soup which may be eaten in limited quantities.

Day Five Today is feast day. You will eat beef and tomatoes. Eat two 10 oz. portions of lean beef. Hamburger is OK. Combine this with six whole tomatoes. On day five you must increase your water intake by one quart. This is to cleanse your system of the uric acid you will be producing.

Day Six Beef and vegetables. Today you may eat an unlimited amount of beef and vegetables. Eat to your hearts content.

Day Seven Today your food intake will consist of brown rice, fruit juices and all the vegetables you care to consume.

Tomorrow morning you will be 10-17 lbs. lighter than one week ago. If you desire further weight loss, repeat the program again. You may repeat this program as often as you like, however, it is suggested that you are allowed two glasses of white wine in addition to the instructions on the program. You may substitute champagne for white wine. Under no circumstances are you to drink any other alcoholic beverages with the exception of beer which is allowed. Any liquor (bourbon,vodka, rum) is forbidden. Cream drinks are especially forbidden. You may have an occasional cordial such as creme de menthe or schnapps, but you must always limit yourself to two drinks. If you wine, drink only wine that day. If you have beer, drink only beer that day, etc. Alcohol adds empty calories to your diet. However, after the first week it will help your digestion and settle your stomach.

G.M.’S Wonder Soup

The following soup is intended as a supplement to your diet. It can be eaten any time of the day in virtually unlimited quantities. You are encouraged to consume large quantities of this soup.

28 oz, Water, 6 Large Onions, 2 Green Peppers, Whole Tomatoes (fresh or canned), 1 Head Cabbage, 1 Bunch Celery, 4 Envelopes Lipton Onion Soup Mix, Herbs and Flavouring as desired.

Additional Comments

Vegetables as may be taken in the form of a salad if desired. No dressing except malt, white or wine vinegar, squeezed lemon, garlic, herbs. No more than one tea spoon of oil.

You have been given a recipe for the WONDER SOUP which can be eaten in unlimited quantities. This soup is a supplement while you are on the program and it should be a pleasure to eat. Not everyone likes cabbage, green peppers, celery etc. This recipe is not inflexible. You may substitute vegetables according to your taste. You may add any vegetables you like: asparagus, peas, corn, turnips, green beans, cauliflower, etc. Try to stay away from beans (lima, pinto, kidney, etc.), because they tend to be high in calories, even though they are very good for you.

Beverages you may consume while on the program :

1. Water (flavoured with lemon/lime if desired).
2. Club Soda is OK.
3. Black Coffee. No cream or cream substitute. No sugar or sweetness.
4. Black Tea = Herb or Leaf.
5. Absolutely nothing else except the fruit juices which are part of day seven. No fruit juices before day seven.

How and Why It Works

Day One you are preparing your system for the upcoming programme. Your only source of nutrition is fresh or canned fruits. Fruits are nature’s perfect food. They provide everything you could possibly want to sustain life except total balance and variety.

Day Two starts with a fix of complex carbo-hydrates coupled with an oil dose. This is taken in the morning for energy and balance. The rest of day two consists of vegetables which are virtually calorie free and provide essential nutrients and fibre.

Day Three eliminates the potato because you get your carbohydrates from the fruits. You system is now prepared to start burning excess pounds. You will still have cravings which should start to diminish by day four.

Day Four, bananas, milk and soup sound the strangest and least desirable. You’re in for a surprise. You probably will not eat all the bananas allowed. But they are there for the potassium you have lost and the sodium you may have missed the past three days. You will notice a definite loss of desire for sweets. You will be surprised how easy this day will go.

Day Five, Beef and tomatoes. The beef is for iron and proteins, the tomatoes are for digestion and fibre. Lots and lots of water purifies your system. You should notice colourless urine today. Your allowance calls for the equivalent of five “quarter ponders”. Do not feel you have to eat all this beef. You must eat the six tomatoes.

Day Six is similar to day five, Iron and proteins from beef, Vitamins and fibre from vegetables. By now your system is in a total weight loss inclination. There should be a noticeable difference in the way you look today, compared to day one.

Day Seven finished off the program like a good cigar used to finish off Victorian meals, except much healthier. You have your system under control and it should thank you for the flushing and cleaning you just gave it.
